What's the name of this red and black little insect?
I asked this question before, and thought I got a correct answer, but seeing the bug again, I realized my old question's answer wasn't quite right.

This time, however, I got to take a picture of it. Excuse the quality. It's a 3.2 megapixel camera, but doesn't do small objects well, because if the camera gets too close, the picture is blurry and unfocused, but too far away and the object can't be clearly seen. So see what you can make from this picture:

Written description follows:
It's got 6 legs and 2 antenna. It's almost precisely 1 centimeter long. It's back is long and flat, and it has a very tiny head, with two small, bulging, red eyes. At the back of its back is an upside down V in light red, and while it looks like it can fly, it seems to definately prefer walking. It's belly is black and banded, with orange between the bands and on the outside of the belly. Also, I live in NY state, where at certain times of the year they seem to be very abundant, and this one likely got into the house escaping the cold. I don't think it's possible to give any more information about it than this.

Looks to me like the boxelder bugs that sun themselves on the south wall of my house every year.
